You need to get the damaged gelcoat off first. Any decent polishing
compound and some elbow grease. Follow with wax. If you keep it waxed
with a good wax that will reduce the future chalking.
The boat is already in the water. What you suggest is good but the boat
needs to be on the hard to do a good job of it.

No it doesn't. Just run it in some shallow water and work on it.
